Some further tests make it look like dig is influenced by some caching stuff going on on my PC. I figured that out while playing around with a TXT record for testing purposes, and noticing that host and dig return different results for the same input.

Running the commands again on my phone using Termux reveals that the AAAA record is in place and functioning, but I still can’t reach the website from my browser by using the domain name.
